Web Hosting Performance and Independence

Performance & Independence

Performance is getting more and more important – not only for your customer experience but also for your business to get top listed. Especially in the increasing online competition and a decreased attention span that makes it hard for a site to convert visits into sales, or even to increase traffic. Site speed can significantly affect a user’s decision on whether a visit results finally into a sale action.

A research done by Double-click by Google found out that 1

53% of mobile site visits where stopped if a page took longer than 3 seconds to load.

Major search engines state that performance is a critical metric influencing the page ranking2

TTFB effect on Search Engine Ranking

Why TTFB Matters

This graph (From our Friends at MOZ) shows the effect of a TTFB "Time-to-first-byte" (or how fast a server responds to a user request). As you can see the faster your web presences can serve a users request (faster TTFB or lowest time) the better for ranking at leading search engines like Google or Bing.

MOZ makes visible how important performance is treated by search engines. An excellent (fast) TTFB result is an essential element in being found on the first page of the search results.

And now ask yourself how often you move past the first page of a search result or the second or next page.

Oh yeah! Let FullSail Systems support you in appearing on the first search engine page.

Conversion Rate in Relation to Load Time

Conversion Rate Decreases due to Slower Load Times

Based on research from Google this graph shows the negative effect of poor loading times in relation to conversion rate (the percentage of visitors who take a defined desired action).

The important message here is that loading times between 1-3 seconds have generally the highest conversion rates (peaking at 2.4 seconds with a conversion rate of 1.9%). After 4 seconds the conversion rate starts to deterirate (e.g. 4.2 seconds / conversion rate 0.98%). This drop in conversion rate can very well mean that actually, you are losing revenue.

Join FullSail Systems today and stop losing revenue.

Note: You may have noticed that the conversion rate is actually very low before the 1.5-second mark. The majority of such sites have little to no content therefor there would be little opportunity to convert.

Bounce Rate Increase in Relation to Load Time

Loading Time Effects vs.
Bounce Rate

This graph is based on Google research and shows the drastic effect on visitors when the site loads slower. With increasing load times more and more visitors are leaving (bounce) from a web presence.

Yes, you are reading it correctly! Your bounce rate can increase by 90% when the load time is between 1-5 seconds compared to load times between 1-3 seconds.

It is hardly acceptable for your goal of average load time not to be between 1-3 seconds. A load time of more than 5 seconds for a site, from a user experience point of view, can triple your bounce rate. The data shows that at this point, you will actively lose customers because the bounce rate is beyond 100%.

Let FullSail Systems help you in gaining precious seconds to meet user expectations and stay ahead of your competition.

Benchmark

Bounce Rate by Industry

This graph serves as a benchmark per industry average bounce rate. Move over the columns in the graph to find your industry's average expected bounce rate. You can see the major differences in the "Shopping" industry which is a large sector of the online world. The "Shopping" sectors' bounce rate is much less, by ~20%, compared to "Online communities" or "People & Social".

The main reason: The huge competition within the online shopping industry makes it necessary to ensure great customer experience with a strong focus on SEO. If you are not taking this trend seriously, your visitors are going to buy elsewhere. Join FullSail Systems and make a significant difference, now and in the future.

As you can see bounce rate affects all industries so no matter which sector you fall into it's not be taken lightly.
